Hello, John, Terry, Dan, Ode, Mike and other friends that are helping me:
We put togther the circuit John sent me. At this stage I decided to use as a
transformer the very simple CS generator that I already have, and connected
it in line (in series) to John´s circuit.
I did the basic procedure I have been using, with 100 ml (20%) of previus
batch as a starter, and 400ml (80%) of steam bi-distilled, filtered and
deionized water, the same one I have been using. The glass can handle 500 ml
of water, leaving around 15 mm of space to the rim from where the 0.8 mm
wire electrodes are hanged.
Following Terry´s suggestions I bend the electrodes in the form of a
straightened U (like an L with a rounded corner) and also bent them in
and out again sideways slightly in order to separate them from the glass
walls as John also suggested. This eliminates most of the tendency to
produce brownish sediment that used to colect in the bottom, and also
eliminates most of the tendency to plate the glass.
In the way the original generator behaves, the output from it is a constant
27 volts. The current in the above mentioned proportions of Starter-
Bi-Distilled water begins flowing and measures 0.5mA and at the end of 55
minutes, that was the time I was leaving it on before, it was 4.2 mA.
The anode produced reddish-brownish, sometimes also whitish fumelike tiny
streams that drifted around, the ammount increasing as the process went on,
and the cathode produced tiny minibubbles of H2. At around 2/3 of the time,
the anode was decreasing and gradually stopping the fumes, and the cathode
started increasingly producing brownish and whitish fumes together with the
mnibubbles. The anode got a brownish-yellowish coat, and the cathode got
gradually covered with tiny mercury-looking balls, presumably formed of
silver microparticles that gathered around hydrogen microbubbles and they
grew until the whole cathode got a hairy looking grey/mercury coat,
somewhat resembling the effect of a magnet over iron filings, with a bigger
cluster at the end, that is easily cleaned afterwards with a paper towel.
The CS I was getting this way was christal clear, and only had a very faint
light amber hue. There were some clusters of silver residues that fell off
the cathode, ones wth H2 enough to float, the rest sedimented.
Here are the results I obtained in the last batch with the new setup:
Readings along the process:
At the generator outlet, voltage remains constant at 27V. After going
through John´s circuit, the readings were:
0 min 20.6V 0.5 mA
5 20.3 0.7
10 20.35 0.75
15 20.2 0.8
20 20.2 0.8
25 20.2 0.8
30 20.1 0.9
35 20.0 1.0
40 19.9 1.2
45 19.9 1.3
50 19.9 1.5
55 19.9 1.7
60 19.8 1.75
65 19.6 2.0
70 19.5 2.2
The process was amazingly clean all along. There were not visible fumes at
any moment, not even with the white light beam I normally I use as a visual
aid, only at the end of the cathode a tiny fume coming off at the last 5
minutes of the process.
There was not any need to stirr, which I normally did starting about the
middle of the process with the original generator alone.
The aspect of the cathode was identical to what normally happens, so I
deduct the same ammount of silver was released, and the silver flavor was
equivalent in strength, but in the end the CS was the best looking I have
obtained so far, the very faint amber was so weak that it was necessary to
compare with plain distilled water to be able to notice it. There were
practically no residues, except the ones hanging off the cathode, that if
one is careful don´t fall off when taking it out.
I deduct the difference lies in the size of silver particles released, which
was all the time so small that could not be seen as fumes, but are there in
solution and suspension anyway.
My electronic tecnician friend is bringing a separate transformer tomorrow,
and we will run a batch without using the generator I have.
I would like to have some opinions on what the ideal voltage should be. I
understand that the 27V output that comes off this generator is very common,
but what if it is around 20 as I had now adding John´s circuit?
I have read from many of you that the current should not exceed 3 mA for a
generator equivalent to mine, but I only have ø= 0.8 mm, L= 100 mm wires
inside the water, so I like it better if it stays around 2 mA as it did in
this last batch. I need to get thicker electrodes.
As always, any comments are welcome so that I can keep learning from all of
you as I have been doing.
Thank you very much for all yor help.
Carlos
